Hi Masti, Thank you for the reply. As I see and searched in the API, there is no way that I can get the template extraction through the API. So what I am thinking is to get the list of templates through API as follows for Amoxicillin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=templates&titles=Amoxicillin But I do not see the template "Template:Cell_wall_disruptive_antibiotics" as you mentioned in the last e-mail. I expected prop=templates query would give me all the properties in the wiki page. Then select the appropriate template to get external links using API as follows. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Template:Cell_wall_disruptive_antibiotics&format=json&pllimit=500 I also have issues with this query as well. It returns links that I do not see in the template page. For example, Beta-lactam antibiotic is not there in the template page but the query return it. Do you have any idea about these issues? Thank you. ________________________________________ From: mediawiki-api-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org [mediawiki-api-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] on behalf of masti [mast...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 7:38 AM To: mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-api] extracting external link portion of a wiki page The table you are referring to is a template. In this case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cell_wall_disruptive_antibiotics so you need to extract links from this template page. They are not directly stated in the article. masti On 09/13/2012 04:37 AM, Gunaratna, Dalkandura Arachchige Kalpa Shashika Silva wrote: > Hi Ed, > The query you mentioned returns external urls in the web page.
